Mailing List Archive: Reporting bug on Apache::AuthDBI module

Hi,

I heard that the module Apache::AuthDBI is now managed by mod_perl.

I have found a bug on my system:

- Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS

- Apache 2.4.7 (last version for my distribution)

- mod_perl 2.0.8+httpd24-r1449661-6ubuntu2

- libapache-dbi-perl 1.12-1

The bug is the following:

when trying to access a context on a directory protected by
Apache::AuthDBI, I get an error "No authentication done but request not
allowed without authentication for /rwm/rkm/wiki/index.html.
Authentication not configured?"

The error appear when I try to access / while it is internally resolved
into index.php thanks to "DirectoryIndex" directive. If I try to access
the /index.php page directly, there is no problem.

Just below, a patch correcting this problem:

Hi dcoutadeur,

Thanks! I just ran into the same issue on Debian jessie (8.6) and your
patch fixed the problem.

Have you tried sending the patch via rt.cpan.org or to Fred Hoyers email
address?

Gr,

Wieger
